The first two codes, 60500 and 60502, are the two most common codes used by parathyroid surgeons.
Example: For a resection of a parathyroid adenoma (CPT 60500), the primary diagnosis code is 227.1 (035.1) and 252.0 (E21.0) is a secondary diagnosis code.
51—Multiple procedures: When multiple stand-alone procedure codes are performed at the same session by the same provider, the secondary lower valued procedure (s) may be identified by appending modifier 51 . This modifier should not be appended to designated add-on codes such as 60512 (parathyroid autotransplantation) which are noted in CPT by the “+” symbol just prior to the code. Typically payers apply a multiple procedure payment reduction (MPPR) when modifier 51 is used; Medicare’s payment is reduced by 50% for overlapping pre-, intra-, and postoperative care.
22—Increased procedural services: Use when the physician work required providing a service is substantially greater than typically required to provide the service. Documentation must support the substantial additional work and the reason for the additional work (i.e., increased intensity, time, technical difficulty of procedure, severity of patient’s condition, physical and mental effort required). This modifier should be appended to a procedure code and not an Evaluation and Management (E/M) code .
